I was exhausted but too happy to care. This job meant so much to me.
The bistro was nonstop busy. People have been coming in and out like crazy. Not just the ones staying at the BnB, but also folks from around our town, out of town, folks working here, folks from the near hospital, and even soldiers from the Marine Base just out of town.
It was so crazy. It kept me busy all day.
It was near 11:30 when dad sent me a text.
Though most jobs require us to keep our phones in our locker rooms, our boss requested we kept our phones on us at all times in case of an emergency, or in case a supervisor needed to get in contact with us.
Dad sent me a text near that time, and since I was new here, I figured I would be the last to get my break. I was surprised when my supervisor Pascal sent me a text to tell me to take a half-hour break at noon.

Loathing Logan A Moment Worth Remembering
LoganWe were due for the school field trip today. Thanks to mom and Mrs. P, Sophie and I were headed early this morning to the school to volunteer for the annual hiking trip on the old trail up the mountains.We hadn't slept so much last night, which means Sophie was still fast asleep in the car.The weather was getting pretty chilly since its the beginning of winter after all. Luckily, it was not snowing yet.The reason why they hold the trail during the time is that most years and big animals are hibernating. There are fewer probabilities of any student being attacked by an animal if they strive away from us.Plus the fact there are still a few does out there we can still see.We were headed a little early since we were supposed to be there before the other students got there, so I stopped and got her a muffin and coffee and parked the car next to the school bus.I woke her up and handed her her coffee
Loathing Logan Heartache and Winter Snow
SophieThe days went by slow from thereon.Logan and I were close and I felt I was in love with him more each day, but I felt as if everyone around me were hiding things from me.Mom and dad were going on business trips more often, and it worried me. Mom didn't look so good. She looked stressed out, tired, worn out. She had lost a lot of weight and tried to hide it, changing the subject each time I asked her if she was ok.We were getting close to Christmas time and that meant two things. One- Our winter formal dance was coming up. Two- Christmas break was coming.My family usually goes off to a cabin we rent out in the mountains. I'm not sure that's the case this year. My parents have been so busy.Logan was busier than before since they had won qualifications for county champions. I was so proud of him. The thing that bothered me was that Carter was still messing with him and me.We oversaw his be

DylanI had the best night of my life with Troy.He was the best thing that's happened to me since I came to this town.I haven't had it easy at the base. Dad's team knows I'm gay, and they give me a hard time for it behind dad's back. I've learned to tough it out. It's nothing new to me. Not everyone will accept who I am, and it doesn't bother me. As long as dad and T accept me, and the people I care about, that's all that matters.I was on my way to see him after a talk to him a few minutes ago. He had left my house this morning in such a good mood, but he sounded a little down. I wasn't sure what this was about. Maybe his parents are home again and he finally told them about me.I know he may feel upset, but I really do hope he finally told them about me. I can not wait to be able and hold him in public. To be able to let the world know he's mine. To finally tell all those girls that are always drooling over him to back off.

LoganEverything began to go down to shit. I was so pissed off. I was hurt, and I felt my world was crumbling down to pieces.It's been three days, three long days after. Though, they feel longer.How could she do this to me? I love her, I love her so much. I trusted her. But all she did was play with my emotions, she lied to my face and played me so bad. She played with my heart.How could I've not seen the signs? I was so gullible.Worst of all, she hadn't come to school for those past three days. All her friends were scattered. Troy was eating alone with Lexie, and Dylan was hanging out with other guys from our school football team.I was in such a bad mood that the coach had warned me a few times at practice for hurting some of the guys. I didn't give a shit. I needed to get my anger out somehow.Besides, this is fucking football, guys should know it's a rough game. I toughed it out in the field to take some of t
Loathing Logan From Bad to Worst
One Week After the BreakupSophieI've been laying in bed for I don't know how long. Could be days, or maybe just hours. My head keeps hurting every time I move, and my whole body gives out when I try to stand.I don't have the stomach to eat a bite, regardless of how much my mom begs me to. She came home yesterday and has been on edge because of what happened between Logan and me.Mrs. Michaelson had called the school and lied on my behalf, telling them I was ill. No one seemed to question her ever, so they simply let it be. Perks of being a well-respected member of this town.Lexie has been coming daily to bring my work from school for me to do. It's still sitting on my desk, untouched, and unbothered.Logan has sent me a few texts, but I can't bear to see them. I'm sure they are full of hateful words and menacing thoughts. My heart is too overwhelmed with everything. A part of me wishes it was just a bad dream. I keep hoping t
Loathing Logan Reality Is Not Always Pretty
SophieI finally had the strength and courage to get up from the shower floor after crying for so long. I dried my body down and changed into black leggings and an oversized sweater, placed on my socks, and walked out of my bathroom with a towel in hand to dry my hair.The house was quiet. The boys were probably in school, and dad had also gone out to the vineyard to work on last-minute details for an event they were holding this weekend.It was only mom and me in the house.I have been feeling down and sorry for myself these past few days. But I had to face reality. It was over between Logan and me. Whether I liked it or not, he was gone.I grabbed my phone and turned it on after it has been off for a few days. My phone immediately got flooded with notifications from Logan, Troy, and Lexie.Texts from Lexie asking how I was, trying to comfort me, and asking me to be brave. I had over fifty calls, if not more from my friends. But

I must be dreaming, right?I- I don't understand what is happening. Everyone seemed to walk about unbothered, while I on the other hand felt my world kept crashing each time I tried to place a piece back into place.I was so scared, hoping it was nothing and mom would be ok.She is probably just suffering from jet lag. I mean, she has been traveling far more frequently than before. Her body is just tired of going back and forth from New York and back. Right?Logan was talking on the phone while finishing the papers and giving them back to the nurse in the reception. She smiled weakly and asked us to take a seat. But how could I sit? I had to know mom was ok. Gosh, I didn't eve

LoganI made my way to the vending machine and decided on getting a black coffee to wake myself up. I took a few sips before placing it down, my hands against the vending machine as I yawned and tried maintaining awake."Hey man. You alright?" Steven asked, startling me. He hit my back lightly making the coffee spill a little on top of the machine.I sighed rubbing my chin."Yeah. I'm fine. Where were you? I thought you had gone home?" I asked him, turning my body and leaning against the machine with arms and legs crossed over."Nah, I went to get some grub for everyone. You hungry?" He asked, his hands lifted the plastic bags he held in his hands."I'm good. But maybe the rest will be hungry. Come on, let's get some drinks for everyone before we go back." I said, turning around and placing more money in the other machine, grabing juices and sodas for everyone.I had a few cans in hand and was struggling to pick up t

Loathing Logan Change Can Be Good, But Painful
SophieIt's been almost seven years since I left Lakeview. I never thought I'd go back. But terrible news pulled me back to that old town.A few months after Logan had found me in Los Angeles, four years ago, I received a phone call from dad. Mom had gotten sick again. But this time, they didn't catch it in time. She hid it from everyone, including dad. No one, not even I was ready for what was to come.Mom died just a year after I went to see her. She was so happy to finally spend more than a few days' worth of time with Nathan. All we did was talk about him when we are on the phone. She simply adores him. But it was so hard to see her in pain. Cancer had come back to her bones that time, I could still hear her crying from the pain, saying her body felt as if it was on fire. I don't understand how life could be so cruel.She was my best friend, my biggest support, and my shoulder to cry on. She finally passed away a few days before mother's d
Loathing Logan Unexpected Visit
Three Years Later:SophieI walked towards the cafe I work for a few hours after class. I was too tired to work today. It's getting harder every day to even get out of bed.I have no energy. My days are crazy. I can't sleep at night, yet I want nothing to do but sleep during the day. My budget scares me. I don't even know how I am doing this? Dad keeps sending me money, though I refuse to touch it unless I have no other option.I dropped most of my classes for now. I can't focus- it's as if my mind gets clouded. I feel like a damn airhead. I had to go see a doctor, and she gave me so many vitamins because she says I am underweight and need to nourish my body. The vitamins taste so gross. I especially hate the iron pills.But if I don't take them, I will never get rid of my anemia. It will be bad for me if that happens."Hey, darling. You look so gorgeous today.

Sophie"I can't believe we are finally graduating tomorrow. This seems so surreal." Lexie whispered to my left as we sat in the auditorium while listening to instruction for tomorrow's ceremony. Logan sat to my right, holding my hand with our fingers interlaced. I could tell he was nervous. Our valedictorians this year are Russell Knight and Emily Mitchell. They tied perfectly for the grand title.Graduation came by too fast if you ask me. Before we knew it, we were hit with finals and SAT's, final projects, and more.We ran around getting caps, gowns, graduation outfits. Logan and the rest of the gang, as well as me, volunteered for the prom decoration group, it turned out beautifully. I won't go insomuch detail, just know Logan was amazing. We had matching colors on my dress and his tie. After, we went to the cabin and spent all weekend there. He wanted us to go to the house he's building by the lake, but there were major setbacks, and we didn't want to be in
Loathing Logan We'll Always Be Together
SophieI woke up hopeful today. I knew Logan would be off to be with his mom at the courthouse. This is the time when I woke up begging God for a miracle. I wanted things to work out for them. I miss Ashley so much, and I know she must be missing her mom and Logan. They deserve to be together. I just hope that Mr. Spencer can see that in time.He picked me up from home and gave me a ride to school before leaving. I gave him a quick kiss and got off the car. I waved at him as he sped off to Mr. Mitchell's office. He had called him this morning to tell him he had big news for him. I hoped it was good news, Logan could really use a turn to all of the bad things that have been happening lately.I decided to send him a quick message before entering my second class and told him that everything was going to be ok.Sophie- Hi Baby. Good morning. I just wanted you to know I love you. Things are going to be ok, you'll see. I'll see you after school, ok?
Loathing Logan NYU Bound
Logan "I know mom, I was going to go back to school. That was my plan. But, then uncle Danny stopped me at the lobby. He told me to wait for him so I could take Ashley with me to get some ice cream. Which is why she is now covered in chocolate. You know she can't eat chocolate ice cream without getting it all over herself!" Ashley socked me on my arm as I made fun of her. She had a huge chocolate ice cream stain on the top of her dress. I tried to avoid the menacing look on mom's face as she stood before me with her arms crossed next to uncle Danny and Derreck. Ashley and I were in the middle of our second scoop when mom walked in looking for us. She looks over towards uncle Danny, I don't her arms, and places one hand over her hip. "Uh, in my defense, it was better for Logan to keep her company than for her to be out in the lobby all alone. Wouldn't you agree?... Derreck?" He looks at mom first and then towards Derreck for reinforce

I asked him making him turn with a smile towards me.His hand softly grasping mine with a gentle squeeze."We were, but Ruth told me you were having a little issue with Charley-boy, so Layla and I came by to see what was going on. Luckily, I reached out and did my research on what's going on." He responded turning with a mischievous smile towards Charles whose face was red as a tomato."Daniel, no offense but your presence is unnecessary to this hearing. This is a matter between Riley and me.""Oh, on the contrary." He cut Charles off, opened his suitcase, and brought out a stack of papers, and slammed them in front of Charles."You forget about this Charley-boy? Ashley, baby, Logan is waiting outside. Why don't go out and get some ice cream with him, ok honey?" He says pulling out his wallet and giving Ashley a hundred-dollar bill
Loathing Logan Battle For Custody
RileyI stood outside of the courtroom with my hands shaking, tapping my phone over the other hand.I was a nervous wreck, to say the least.One thing I was glad of, was that Charles had asked for a private hearing. We would stand before a judge inside a private room rather than a big courtroom full of strangers and try to come to an understanding from both parties."Ms. Riley Spencer? We are ready for you." The young lawyer called out from the door. I looked at Derreck with fright written all over me. My heart pounded in my ear from the nerves I felt inside.Soon as I went inside, my heart shrieked with enthusiasm as I saw my baby girl sitting next to her dad."Mom!" She yelled out, standing up and running to my side."Ashley. Oh, baby, I missed you so much, princess." I hugged her tightly, embracing the feel of her arms around my waist as I stroke her hair delicately and kissed her head continuously."
